Rawlins-Fernandez gets endorsement for Molokai council seat

A group called “Our Revolution Hawai’i” has endorsed Keani Rawlins-Fernandez for the Molokai residency seat on the Maui County Council.

Council Member Stacy Crivello currently holds the seat.

The endorsement came because the candidate “demonstrates support for the health, safety and environment of the people of Hawaii.”

“Through supporting a new generation of progressive leaders, empowering millions to fight for progressive change and elevating the political consciousness, Our Revolution’s mission is to transform American politics to make our political and economic systems once again responsive to the needs of working families,” an announcement says. “With women under-represented in elected office, Our Revolution Hawai’i says, ‘we need more women, like Keani, dedicated to the improvement of our community in office representing the needs of the people of Hawai’i.”
